The BBC and the Labour Party joined at the f***ing hip?

The Mail reports that:

'Former Home Secretary Jacqui Smith has sparked fury by bidding for a top BBC job less than three months after her political career ended in disgrace.

The plum position pays £77,000 a year for a two-and-a-half-day week and also offers generous perks.

Ms Smith is hoping to replace the current vice-chairman, Chitra Bharucha, who is stepping down at the end of October.'

That will be the ex-LABOUR minister looking to be in a position of authority at the BBC Trust, impartial?

In case you had forgotten the kind of 'people' that governed us until recently:

' Yesterday, when contacted by The Mail on Sunday, Ms Smith said: ‘How did you know that I had applied?’

Asked whether she thought her bid was likely to succeed, she said: ‘I have made an application, that’s all I know’, before adding ‘f*** off’ and terminating the conversation.'

Nice woman?
